Dear Sir, As the method of making ice in this country, where the thermometer, during part of the year, stands at from 95 to 100° in the shade, has something peculiar in it, I trust the fol­lowing description of the process will not be unacceptable. You know that ice is made in India during the months of December, January, and part of February ; but I believe it has generally been considered as necessary to the congelation of the water, that it should have been boiled. However, I can now assure you, as a fact within my own observation for these nine years past, that a large quantity of ice has been made at this place every year, without any preparation whatever; and I have often seen ice of an inch and quarter thick, notwithstanding I do not conceive that the atmosphere, at that time, was sufficiently cold to produce the effect; for I have frequently placed a thermometer, with the naked bulb on the straw, amidst the freezing vessels during the night, and on inspecting it between five and six o'clock in the morning (at which time the ice-makers informed me the cold was most intense), I never found it below 35°. I have even seen ice, of a considerable thickness, formed when the thermometer was not lower than 40 degrees.
